message 1: by J. (new)

J. Parker (hotholyhumorous) | 5 comments I am the author of the following books:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

I also need to delete the following book, as it has been replaced by the first book listed above:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
Since the new book is simply an expanded version printed by a different publisher, it would be nice to keep the reviews if that's possible. It really is the same content, only expanded and polished.

working on it

Moved all books to your author profile; if you need anything moved in the future, it will be helpful for you to know that you are J.^^Parker, with each ^ indicating a space.

Goodreads policy is to keep all published editions/covers, whether they're in print or not; that way users can shelve the edition they have- see this help topic: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/2....

Since the new book is just an expanded/re-titled edition of the previous title, I've combined it with the original one. As the author, you can set the default edition, which will appear in title searches and on your author page, by following these steps.

It's there, it's just been combined with the previously titled edition- Goodreads policy is to combine them since it's just a different publication of the same book (you stated it was the same, just revised.) Goodreads doesn't delete books, and this way all the reviews are combined for all of the editions.

Follow the steps in message #2 if you'd like to set the re-titled edition as the default.

J. Parker (hotholyhumorous) | 5 comments Thank you! I was confused about what was showing up, but you clarified it perfectly.
